ReachFest 2014, taking place on Saturday, April 12 at Sunset Cove Amphitheater, Boca Raton, will feature an incredible lineup of MercyMe, Britt Nicole, Jamie Grace, Colton Dixon and Citizen Way. “With the success of our 2012 concert with Jeremy Camp and then 2013 with Casting Crowns, we are thrilled this year to present our first music festival,” ReachFM station manager Jennifer Aluart explained. But ReachFest is not your run of the mill Christian concert and not even your average festival. Aluart continued, “With many multi-artist events, the artists are only on stage for two or three songs. For ReachFest, we’ve […]

(Comment below on what Christ being risen means for you) This month, all over the world, Christians will celebrate Easter and the undeniable fact that the tomb was empty; that Jesus Christ was raised from death to life. Our Lord Jesus Christ, after having spent three days in the tomb, was raised from the grip of death to the glory of life and is sitting at the right hand of God the Father. We know that the tomb was emptied by the power of our Most High God. Christ has risen! “Then the angel spoke to the women. ‘Don’t be […]

Jesus in the Passover

The Jewish people have celebrated the festival of the Passover for thousands of years. It is the retelling of the great story of the redemption of the children of Israel from 450 years of slavery and bondage in Egypt. On this night, Jewish children may ask their father, “Papa, why is this night different from every other night?” The celebration itself was given to the Jews while they were still in Egypt. The original celebration centered on the Passover lamb, which was sacrificed and its blood put over the doorposts as a sign of faith, so that the angel of […]

The Importance of Remembering

Israeli Holocaust Remembrance Day, Yom HaShoah, is a sacred day in memory of the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust. This year it will be marked on April 28 with many ceremonies, all with the Israeli national flag flying at half-mast. At 10:00 a.m. sirens will sound throughout Israel for two minutes during which people will cease all activity, even stopping their cars in the middle of the street, in order to stand at attention in silent tribute to the dead. On the eve of Yom HaShoah, South Florida residents may participate in a March of Remembrance on […]

“I’m not Buddhist, I’m not Hindu, I’m not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God. I pray all the time—for self-control, for humility,” pop culture icon Katy Perry tells Marie Claire. Though Katy Perry has only one voice, her opinion speaks volumes about the spiritual-but-not-religious trend that is taking place in this day and age. According to a Pew report, almost 1 in 5 Americans identify themselves as “spiritual, but not religious.” These people were identified as having a connection to God but not with any form of institution. As Christians, we certainly believe […]

Despite what the news or ESPN would lead people to believe, there are many NFL athletes who use the popularity they have been blessed with to spread goodwill and help those who are less fortunate. Whether that is through volunteer work, running foundations that raise awareness of a problem, or just signing autographs, some players willingly take time out to serve others and follow the example Jesus Christ set. Here are five Christian players who follow the Lord’s lead. Peyton Manning, Quarterback, Denver Broncos The five-time NFL MVP grew up in a Christian household led by New Orleans Saints’ legend […]

Why God Desires Your Worship

Why does God want people to praise him? I was recently talking with a skeptical gentleman about the greatness of God, but when I invited him to church he said, “I don’t get why a God that is so great would need me to come to church and praise him. How self-centered and egotistical could God be that he constantly demands people to praise him?” This gentleman is not alone. That is a very common objection to Christianity.  Many people throughout the centuries, including C.S. Lewis prior to his conversion, have wrestled with God’s constant insistence for our worship. All […]

Missions: Our History and Our Calling

The foundation of Christian missions can be summarized in Luke 4:18-21 as Jesus announced his ministry on earth. Since he returned to the Father, we have become the representation of Christ on earth, and we continue his ministry as proclaimed in this passage: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Our model for Christian missions is found […]

God Threw a Stone

As I’ve said before: God speaks two words to the world. People have called them many things: Law and Gospel, Judgment and Love, Critique and Grace, and so on. In essence, though, it’s pretty simple: first God gives us bad news (about us) and then he gives us Good News (about Jesus). This is perhaps most clearly seen in another incredibly well-known (and incredibly misunderstood) passage of Scripture: Jesus’ interaction with the woman caught in the act of adultery. The scribes and Pharisees catch a woman in the act of adultery, and drag her before Jesus. Can you imagine a […]
